There seems to be a permissions problem. Inline in the forum, the image displays as a broken-image icon. "Open image in new tab" produces this detailed message:

403. That’s an error.

We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page.

Sorry, it should be fixed now!

Yes, it displays fine now.

Nicely photographed!

That's a clever trick, using your cellphone as a black surface to photograph the pupa.
